Description

Suspense Comics #1 (Continental Magazines, 1943) CGC GD/VG 3.0
Extensive (P) Off-white pages. We've actually seen fewer copies
of this than of #3, no wonder this first issue is a Gerber "8"! The
bondage/torture cover has much in common with the famous cover of
issue #3, you could almost call it a prototype for the later cover.
It's by Charles Quinlan of Catman fame, and there are seven
pages of interior art by the masterful L. B. Cole. While the
identity of the first horror comic book is a matter of some debate,
we'd say this issue deserves to be included in the discussion. CGC
notes, "Restoration includes: color touch, pieces added, tear
seals, reinforced, re-glossed. (Bottom edge of cover trimmed)."
Overstreet 2007 GD 2.0 value = $375; VG 4.0 value = $750.
